Sendmail script not working
I am facing a peculiar problem in AIX 6.1
I can execute sendmail command using the following script

Code:
sendmail -f sender -v recepient
Body of email
^d

The command executes successfully and mail is sent to the intended recepient

but when I try to use the attached script, the mail is not sent also no errors are reported.

Code:
dsadm@rlimumdstg03:/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Projects/ODS#cat dssendmail.txt
#! /bin/sh
/usr/lib/sendmail -t <<////
From: %from%
To: %to%
Subject: %subject%
%body%
////
dsadm@rlimumdstg03:/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Projects/ODS#█

%var% format is for MS-DOS you probably want $var instead

eg:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
/usr/lib/sendmail -t <<////
From: $from
To: $to
Subject: $subject
$body
////

It is not working even when I give actual email ids in the place of variables

Have you checked the sendmail logfile (/var/adm/maillog for AIX 6.1 I think)?

Is there any difference in the sendmail that works from your command line test and that using the here-doc?
